Again! / February 14, 2025

Again!

She seemed to have fallen in love again.
With her own husband!
The convenience of it pleased her—
like finding right in her pantry
all the fixings she needed for a new recipe.

—Anne Tyler, Breathing Lessons

  3. Oh, Dotty… this is gorgeous! I don’t know what I love more. Do I love the colors? Yes. Do I love the textures? Yes. Do I love the scrappy bits? Yes! Do I love the bits of collage, the drips, and the scribbly scratchings? YES!! All of it combined makes for a beautiful piece. Hoping husband liked it. πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’œ

      1. First, I’m happy to see that you’re able to comment after whatever last week’s cyber commenting snafu got in your way.
      2. Thank you for all the feedback on visual language—always so happily received! I wanted something looser and scrappier than past iterations of this format, and I was pleased to scribble scratch and drip in the spirit of free play (following Amanda’s terrific lead).
      3. Husband likes it πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’œ. I keep a small easel plate stand on his dresser and swap out the art there regularly. I put this piece on display on Valentine’s Day where it will stay for 30 days until Dave’s birthday πŸŽ‚.

    1. MaryAnn, “freaking fun loving!” hits the spot with me—thank you! I wanted to create a Valentine that was leaning towards the playfulness of candy conversation hearts v. lace-and-ribbons Victorian. Which is why that Anne Tyler quotation always hits the spot with me. It expresses such a lovely and loving sentiment while staying freaking fun loving : )
